One year old Sadowsky MetroLine 21-fret Vintage J/J Bass 5 string bass made by Warwick in Germany. (NOT metroexpress.)

I’ve played around 10-15 Warwick Metros, and this one was BY FAR the best and closest to my NYC Sadowsky. Extremely low action with no buzz, neck is incredible with some flame. Every neck on the Metros, that I’ve played, was shaped completely differently from one another and this one was masterfully crafted.

The Sadowsky paper ‘floor traveller’ says the bass is 8.68ibs.

UPGRADES: Sadowsky Single coil pickups(will include the stacked hum-cancelling), Pre-Warwick Sad VTC Pre-amp(will include OG Warwick preamp), and a professional cavity shielding job.

Asking $2,599 shipped in conus. These go for brand new around $3,550 plus tax, without the upgrades…

Local pickup in Nashville, TN. PM with any questions.

Trade interests: P basses…Fender Custom Shop, Moollon, 70s Fender, or a 60/70s Mustang, etc.

Oh nice, ok. There's a chance I'll be going to Nashville, if I do (and the bass isn't sold), I'll let you know!

Thanks much!
